According to a new report, Braunwyn Windham-Burke and her estranged husband Sean Burke have been slapped with legal papers over $45,000 in unpaid rent.
According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Karen Ogden, the owner of the Newport Beach mansion the Bravo reality stars were leasing, filed a civil lawsuit on July 12.
In the suit, the landlord says the Real Housewives of Orange County stars leased the 5-bedroom, 6 ½ bathroom, 8,000 sq. ft. pad in January 2020. They agreed to pay $15,000 a month in rent for a one-year and six-month lease.
The suit says Braunwyn and Sean failed to pay rent for 3 months. The landlord says they notified the couple they were being kicked out last month.
In court documents via Radar Online, the landlord is asking for the couple to pay up the $45k and get out of the property immediately.
This luxury home comes with “double sub-zero refrigerators and an expansive kitchen island clad with Macassar wood” along “a glass enclosed gym, multi-purpose/play room and a movie theater with stadium seating, top-quality sound system, custom leather couches and a stage for special performances.”
As previously reported, Braunwyn and Sean announced they were separating after 26 years of marriage during an Instagram Live on Monday.
During the live session, they shared that Braunwyn will move to Hawaii for the summer while Sean will move into a new place, which Braunwyn’s current girlfriend, Fernanda Rocha, helped him find.
“We are packing up this house, the one we filmed in last year, and we are moving,” she said. ”We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart.”
Braunwyn noted that she had been “looking for a home” and kept putting offers in and was getting outbid. So, she decided to make a bigger change.
“He is moving into a furnished rental for a few months and I am taking the kids to Hawaii for a while,” she explained. “We have decided jointly that we are going to take a few months apart.
Sean added, “We’re going to see what that’s like, living apart for a little while.”
“What we would like to do is when this is over, get a house that the kids stay in and then we might go [back and forth],” the former reality star said. “We haven’t decided if, after this little experiment of having a few months apart, if we are gonna come back together and live together as friends and family, or if we’re going to just keep the kids in the house and we’ll come in and out. … We need a break. We need some space right now.”
Braunwyn added, “We made the decision that taking some time apart is a good choice. … We love each other. We are family, we are friends.”
Braunwyn came out as a lesbian in December 2020, the pair share seven children Bella (20), Rowan (18), Jacob (15), twins Curran and Caden (8), Koa (6), and Hazel (3). In June, she confirmed that she is dating former RHOC friend Fernanda Rocha.
